I'd be willing to help, in so far as I can.  This week, for example,
there is no real problem; I'm at my home site, and can spare some time.
Hopefully, however, I'll soon be back in some paying job, and I can't
guarantee how much time, if any, they will let me take, or even if I
would have access to the necessary tools.  (FWIW: I helped along with
Dietmar on the scripts for clc++m, and for a long time, I maintained an
NNTP server.  All pretty much in the past, but I don't think that NNTP
has changed that much.)
